Back in time to the years fighting against the American invasion
- Horror Highway: May 1, 1972, will never be forgotten by people in Quang Tri and Thua Thien provinces not because it is International Labor Day, but because of the horrible carnage on Vietnam Highway 1, the Horror Highway.
- Long Hung Church: one of the very few existing buildings remains in Quang Tri town during “Fire Summer” or Eastern Offensive in 1972. It is a National Relic in the town of Quang Tri Vietnam – BA5453.

What To Expect
Quang Tri Citadel
We pick you up at your hotel in Hue in the morning you can choose 8am (suggested) or 9am or 10am. Please tell us your departure time and pick up location (hotel) in the term: Special Requirements. Visiting places: - Highway of Horror: May 1, 1972 will never be forgotten by people in Quang Tri and Thua Thien provinces not because it is the International Labor Day, but because the horrible carnage on the Vietnam Highway 1 about ten kilometers south of Quang Tri City. Thousands of people were killed by artillery and infantry weapons in hours of shooting. - Long Hung Church: This church in Quang Tri, Vietnam fell victim to 8 continuous days of bombings by South Vietnamese and American troops during the Vietnam War. The church has remained untouched and basically remains as it was immediately after the bombings occurred.which was a battlefield in 1972 between North and South Vietnam for 81 days and nights. Quang Tri Ancient Citadel: is seen as an eye-witness of fierce battles during the anti-American resistance war in 1972. During the 81-day fighting, the citadel was almost destroyed by thousands of tons of bombs released by the US army. Nowadays, the citadel becomes a place to mark immortal victories of the Vietnamese army and people and to educate youths about the nation’s revolutionary tradition and its patriotism. - Doc Mieu Base: There's basically nothing left of this old American base save a rusting tank and a sign. Apparently this once formed the backbone of the "eagle eyes of america" electronic monitoring fence. - Ben Hai River – Hien Luong Bridge of DMZ: Vietnam's Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, is the area around the former border between North and South Vietnam.
Vinh Moc Tunnel
- Vinh Moc Tunnels and Tunnels Museum: The tunnels were built in three levels (12, 15 and 23 meters deep) and took thirteen months to complete. Three hundred people lived intermittently in the tunnels during 1966 to 1971. Sixty-two families made the tunnels their home and amazingly seventeen babies were born here and spent the first years of their lives underground.

5.00We did a half day tour with a wonderful guide Linh. Linh is an intelligent,knowledgeable young woman who provided us with a very informative tour of the battle grounds of the ancient citadel, the demarcation zone and the Vin Moc tunnels. Linh provided us with a true insight into the experiences of the Vietnam people and the history they have experienced. Our driver was very competent and helpful too.
Brilliant historical immersion

5.00Hoa our guide picked us up at 9am from the hotel and then as we drove to 3 of the stops along the way she gave us an amazing insight into geopolitics from a Vietnamese perspective through the Indochina wars. Truly truly fascinating. We learnt so much and were able to fill the gaps in the knowledge we already had. We stopped in the middle of the DMZ but the highlight was the last stop at the Vinh Moc tunnels which Hoa took us deep into. Remarkable. We then returned to Hue for 3pm and over the 2 hr return Hoa played music from the war era. Highly recommend!!!

5.00An excellent trip. Our guide, Thuy (? Not sure if i've spelled it correctly!) was very knowledgable and explained a lot about the war in Vietnam. The supporting maps were helpful in understanding. I was a teenager at the time of the war & as the UK was not involved in this, most of what we heard was from the American perspective, so it was very interesting hearing about it from the Vietnamese perspective. Crossing the bridge in the DMZ was a n interesting experience. The complex of tunnels was amazing it was so huge & difficult to imagine how a group of villagers could create such a thing. The car was very comfortable & the driver very good. Many thanks, also, for the thoughtful packed lunch & souvenier water bottles.
A great way to learn history

5.00Really interesting and informative day. We were picked on time by Mr Loc who was our helpful guide. He had a great sense of humour and as a veteran had a unique perspective.
Would definitely recommend!

5.00Super, super tour that in a short time manages to show exciting places in the area around the DMZ that divided South and North Vietnam before the outbreak of the war - and how the war affected the area. Our guide, Linh, was excellent, spoke good English, conveyed knowledge about the war and the country super, and it was super easy to ask more in-depth and curious about the various facets of the war. It makes something good that you are yourself (we were 5), and the tour guide was also curious about us and Denmark
Fascinating trip with a knowledgeable guide
